If you have "Switch connected" configuration, please check if you have configured Jumbo Frames (MTU 9000) on Storage & Federation ports on the network switch. It is most likely causing the problem.

Do you have separated VLANs for Storage AND Federation network, or do you have one VLAN for both, and different IP subnet for Storage and Federation Network ?

Hello @Patai,

The best practice is to use 3 different vlans while deploying SimpliVity Management, Storage and Federation. Also you should enable Jumbo Frames (MTU 9000) on Storge and Federation vlans. Also if you have any rules blocking ports you should refer to SimpliVity site readiness checklist.

One done, reset the discovery state of your node and re-run the test.
